We’ve been following the PTIA (Pro Tool Innovation Awards) for several years now and they have certainly been growing the depth and breadth of their coverage each year. Lots of innovations launch each year in tools, accessories and their various other categories. We at Coptool try to keep our arms around the whole all the new products and it’s a challenge, trying to rate and compare them all across the board even tougher. We do not envy these guy’s job but after spending some time reviewing the various lists we’ve got to say we’d agree with many of their findings. Certainly we’d encourage every shopper to do their own research but the PTIA are a good resource and just fun to see all the new products in the industry. See the various Categories Below:
Pro Tool Judging
On average our Pro Tool Reviews team reviews over 180 tools each year—hands on—with another 150 or so receiving close scrutiny through our detailed product previews. Additionally, we get to put our hands on 100’s more at media events and trade shows…you get the idea. Pro Tool Reviews handles, operates, and/or tests over 500 power tools, hand tools, accessories, and fasteners each year—more than any other consumer reporting publication or organization. We created the Pro Tool Innovation Awards because we were in a great place to tell professionals and serious DIYers which of these new tools really tipped the scale in value, performance, and features. The awards are judged by the reviewers and staff of Pro Tool Reviews, providing excellent industry insight and perspective from people who have a lot of practical experience in using great tools in the residential and commercial construction industry.
